January 12, 2009: Jackson Vocational Interest Survey (JVIS)

 

Jackson Vocational Interest Survey (JVIS)

 

One of our favorite online assessments, especially for high-school and college students, is the JVIS, developed to assist students and adults with educational and career planning. This test contains 289 pairs of job-related activities that users choose between.

 

The assessment, which measures vocational interests, is quite long (takes 45 minutes), but it provides encouraging screens that tell the user's progress and gives a little pep talk.

 

The result is a highly detailed report that compares the user's similarity to college students in specific majors, thus suggesting possible majors for young people to consider.

 

JVIS graphs your scores on 34 work roles and workstyles.

 

[Full disclosure: JVIS is a QuintCareers partner.]

 

Cost to users: $19.95
